Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state has debunked claims of support received from the African Democratic Congress ADC in the August 15 gubernatorial election.
Taking to X on Tuesday, Adeleke who was reelected after polling over 500,000 thousand votes in the election described as a two – horse race said his victory came from God and the overwhelming support of the people of Osun.
The ADC through its National Publicity Secretary,Bolaji Abdullahi had stated that the ADC collaborated to ensure Adeleke’s victory. But Gov. Adeleke countered the claim He wrote:
·”I had no electoral deal or partnership with the ADC before, during, or after the governorship election.
“The credit for our victory goes to God Almighty and the good people of Osun State for their overwhelming support and re-election.
“For the sake of history, it is important to clarify that the ADC was never part of the rainbow coalition that canvassed, mobilised, and supported our campaign in the battle leading to last Saturday’s election.
“I commend all our political partners who sacrificed, worked tirelessly, and went all out to make Saturday a victory day for all Osun people. Their commitment and support were instrumental to our success.
“Now that the election is over, I remain the Governor of all Osun people, irrespective of political affiliation, religion, or tribe. My commitment is to unite our people and continue working for the progress and prosperity of Osun State.”
